Stanley Kubrick - Photographer?

Everyone is familiar with the cinema work of Stanley Kubrick, so I was surprised and pleased to find this article about his work as a photographer for Look magazine in the 1940s. A fine selection of images!

Those photos have the unique and amazing signature of a Rolleiflex TLR, the best camera ever made, am I wrong?
In Kubrick's Dr Strangelove somebody mentions the Japanese photo cameras and how great they are, the guy loved photography.

A great film of his to watch is Barry Lyndon which was shot with only available light. Of his lenses he used a F/.95 lens that was made for NASA in a scene that was lit by a wall of candles. The bokeh of the candles flickering is so beautiful, like a sea of orange.

I believe Barry Lyndon was also his first film to have a zoom on set. I think of all his films, Lyndon is the most appealing to a still photographer.

The film is WELL worth seeing. It is not, perhaps, what you expect of a Kubrick film. Also worth seeing is his first proper film "Killer's Kiss". Like so many of his other films, it bridges that gap between still and motion photography: almost any single shot is so perfectly composed.
